A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Weeeelllll..... yes, but isn't that something of a universal truth ? A Bugatti Veyron would be perfect for the school run if.... etc, etc.

Any chance this will become a std production kite at any point? It would be a shame if it came and went with just the Fifty.

Not that I've heard of. It is a very niche kite within a niche market itself. Whilst I think there's probably more than 50 people who'd enjoy flying one I'm less convinced that there is many more than 50 who would buy one.

I can see the cost of replacements nagging me, I'd rather not buy a $40 spreader, but I can't see the over all cost of a kite effecting the way I fly it. If it's a normally durable kite. A DS or an Exile can take an awful lot of abouse, but I'd think a Robertshaw kite would be similarly built. If the sail is fragile, and hard to repair, then that's different. I've yet to ruin a sail. The rest is just patches and parts. Doesn't effect the enjoyment of the kite.

The cost of entry is pretty steep and a little difficult to logically explain. It's nicely put together and has the nice bits but there is definitely a premium for this kite. Whether or not it's worth it is for the individual to decide.
